WORK SESSION AGENDA
OCTOBER 15, 2018 – 6:00 PM
SPRING PARK CITY HALL
(Work Session discussion times are approximate)
1. 6:00 – MNSPECT CONTRACT DISCUSSION
a. Scott Qualle will be in attendance to discuss changes to the proposed contract for building inspection services. The City’s current contract with Mnspect went into effect in 2012 for an initial term of one year with a provision for the contract to “roll-over” for an indefinite number of one-year intervals after the initial term until either party decides to terminate the contract. Please review the attached memo from Mr. Qualle for a summary of the changes that he is proposing.
2. 6:25 – LONG-TERM PUBLIC WORKS DISCUSSION
a. In 2016 the City entered a five-year contract with PeopleService for public works. Although the contract doesn’t expire until 2021, the Mayor would like the Council to start thinking about the City’s long-term public works strategy so that there is ample time to plan a transition to another provider if the Council deems that the best course of action. Alternatively, the Council and PeopleService may both conclude that the current arrangement is working well and decide to extend the contract at the time that it expires.
3. 6:45 – COMBINED NOVEMBER COUNCIL MEETING DISCUSSION
a. Staff is recommending the cancellation of the Nov. 5th regular council meeting due to the election on Nov. 6th, as well as rescheduling the regular work session and council meeting from Nov. 19th to Tuesday, Nov. 13th in order to meet the state requirement for the council to meet within 10 days of the election to canvass the results.
